T minus one week and counting. We'll be on the plane to MSP this time next week, and preparing to head down to warm weather. Had a very nice time yesterday evening at Tom and Kathy Girolamo's annual winter party. Spent quite a bit of time chatting with Dave and Patty Becker about their fairly recent Viking river cruise from Basel to Amsterdam. They gave us all kinds of information on great things they saw and did. They also provided all the assurance I needed that we don't need to order the drinks package; they said you get excellent wines with lunch and dinner, and they vary enough so that we should be completely satisfied. Patty is going to email me further info and maybe some photos.
